CQMBINED AND Jan -inns ineeaeennacrrne Application filed .lJeccniToer 3131925.

This invention relates to combination stoves and cabinets, and has more particular reference to a means for providing an insulating and ventilating connection therebetween for preventing the passage of the heat from the stove unit to the cabinet unit, and for permitting of the proper ventilation of the interior of the stove unit.

The primary object of the invention is to provide a relatively simple, novel, and cheap means whereby the units of a comblned stove and cabinet may be properly interconnected for providing a single construction.

lVith the foregoing and other objects in view as the nature of the invention will be better understood, the same comprises the novel construction of interconnecting means hereinafter more fully described. shown in the accompanying drawing and claimed.

In the drawing wherein like reference characters indicate correspondin parts throughout the several views 1- Figure 1 is a fragmentary vertical section through a combined stove and cabinet.

Figure 2 is a fragmentary transverse section through the stove and cabinet, and

Figure 3 is an enlarged fragmentary longitudinal section through the connecting means per se.

Now having particular reference to the drawing, the stove unit is fragmentarily shown in Figures 1 and 2, and designatec 5 while the cabinet unit is similarly disclosed, and designated 6. The adjacent end walls 5 and 6 respectively of the units are adapted to be rigidly interconnected in spaced relation for providing an air channel 7 therebetween. The adjacent faces of said walls are entirely covered with a suitable heat insulating material 8, preferably asbestos or a substitute therefor. The inter connecting means for said end walls constitute the provision of a plurality of bolt and nut connections 9, there being provided be tween the wall carrying insulating strips suitable spacing insulating washers 10, Figure 1, that surround the bolts of the con nection.

The bottom walls of the units 5 and 6 terminate at the end walls 5 and 6 respectively, in order that air may pass upwardly through the channel 7, and thence into the stove unit 5 by reason of said stove unit end wall 5 terminating slightly beneath the tap wall of said unit, 1. The end Serial No. 73,618:

wall 6 of the unit 6 extends completely up into engagement with the top wall 12 there of for preventing the passage of the heat from the stove 5 to the cabinet 6.

The unit end walls 5 and 6 are formed at their forward edges with. oppositely directed lateral extensions 5 and 6 respectively, Figure 3, over which the adiacent ends of the front walls 5 and 6 of the units 5 and 6 respectively, engage for providing a neat construction at the forward side of the combined stove and cabinet.

In order that the forward edges of the insulating material 8 upon the end walls will not be visible I provide metallic covering strips 88 therefor of angle iron shape, as clearly shown in Figure 3, it being noted from a review of this figure that said insulating strips do not extend entirely to the front of the stove and cabinet units. 7

In order to prevent the conduction of the heat from the stove unit to the cabinet unit at the front sides thereof I provide a T- shaped strip 13, the web portion of which is aro-vided with relatively large openings l-t through which the connecting bolts atothe forward sides of the units extend, there being provided in this instance sectional spacing washers l010 upon opposite sides of the web portion of said strip.

"it will thus be seen that l have provided a highly novel and efficient form of connect-- ing means between the units of a combined stove and cabinet that will effectively prevent the passage of the heat from the stove to the cabinet and that will permit of the proper ventilation of the stove unit and that will not detract from the appearance of the combined stove and cabinet.

Minor changes may be made in the invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is j 1. In a combined stove unit and cabinet unit wherein the same are disposed in adjacent end wall spaced relation, heat insulat ing strips disposed upon the adjacent sides of said end walls, means for interconnecting the end walls in spaced relation for providing an air channel therebetween. a T-shaped strip adapted to be disposed between the end walls at the front side thereof for substan tially the therebetween, the

end Wall of the stove unit being spaced from the top of the stove at the upper edge therei of in order that the air passing through the channel may enter the stove unit.

'2. In a combined stove unit and cabinet unit wherein the same are disposed in adjacent end Wall spaced relation, heat insulating strips disposed upon the adjacent sides of said end Walls, means for interconnecting the end walls in spaced relation for providing an air channel therebetween, and a T- shaped strip adapted to be disposed between the end Walls at the front side thereof for substantially closing the space therebetween.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
